The AI for Data Science Conference

The AI for Data Science Conference (cAI25) will take place in San Francisco on April 1st, 2025, with a global livestream audience. This conference offers a unique opportunity to explore how cutting-edge AI and enterprise data science innovations will shape the future of intelligent agentic workflows.

At the conference, attendees will learn agents can transform their enterprise data science teams and empower an extended community of “citizen data scientists” across their organization.

Through exclusive interviews and in-depth discussions, participants will learn how leading organizations integrate AI agents into their workflows to enhance productivity and improve decision-making, even amid the growing data science and AI talent gap.

Another key theme at cAI25 will be how organizations can put their decision-making on autopilot using AI data science agents powered by technological advancements in generative, semantic, and causal reasoning.

The conference provides a variety of interactive discussions, collaborative sessions, and informal gatherings that promote knowledge exchange, relationship-building, and idea-sharing. The conference atmosphere fosters dialogue, enabling attendees to form valuable connections, gain insights into emerging industry trends, and explore practical collaborations with leading brands.

The agenda will concentrate on delivering real-world insights regarding the integration of AI agents into enterprise data science workflows, which includes:

• Keynotes from industry leaders

• Panel discussions and fireside Chats with experts

• Hands-on workshops to build knowledge and skills

• Real-world case studies and demonstrations

You will first learn how AI agents can scale your enterprise data science capabilities and automate complex analytics workflows to uncover previously hidden insights, ultimately improving data-driven outcomes. This approach allows you to build significantly more productive and resilient data science teams without substantially expanding your human resources.

Why AI Data Science Agents

What if everyone, from marketing, operations, and sales to R&D, finance, and legal, could self-apply advanced data science and AI techniques to leverage one of their most valuable resources — their data?

And be empowered to explore countless possible futures by evaluating the consequences of potential decisions and understanding the specific chain of events that lead to a desired outcome with trust and confidence. In other words, understand WHAT to do, HOW to do it, and WHY certain actions are better than others.

Almost every business would say, “Yes, please, now!”

However, to do so, enterprises must first overcome three key realities:

• The inability to hire or afford enough data scientists.

• Data is growing faster than businesses can keep up.

• A growing lack of trust in data & AI outcomes.

Revolutionizing Data Science

causaLens, a London-based startup, is on a transformative mission to revolutionize enterprise decision-making by introducing AI Data Scientists— advanced AI agents that work seamlessly together and alongside human teammates. Their solutions empower organizations to fully harness their data by automating complex data, AI and analytical tasks traditionally performed by human data scientists.

This novel approach enables enterprises to overcome the limitations of traditional data science workflows and their reliance on human talent..

As Darko Matovski, the CEO and co-founder of causaLens, stated:

“We’re moving beyond dashboards and co-pilots, to where AI agents are becoming real teammates to create auto-scalable, intelligent decision-making engines that will revolutionize enterprise data science.”

Real-world deployments by Fortune 100 companies demonstrate the platform’s transformative potential. The platform achieves results at scale in weeks, which would have previously taken human teams months or longer. For example, a global enterprise successfully deployed 50,000 custom models within one week — a task that traditionally takes months.

The broader implications of causaLens’ success are profound. It potentially democratizes AI and data science capabilities once limited to resource-rich enterprises. By providing unlimited AI data science resources for organizations of all sizes, causaLens empowers human data scientists with new “superpowers” and enables non-technical workers to engage in self-service data science activities.

The causaLens Agent Platform

causaLens’ AI Agent platform includes a range of specialized AI agents that collaborate within an agentic workflow to perform data science tasks autonomously. Leveraging advanced AI these agents can analyze data, identify patterns, and uncover drivers of outcomes to produce actionable insights without ongoing human oversight.

The platform facilitates seamless interaction between users and AI agents to ensure that appropriate agents address specific tasks within a managed workflow. Users maintain control over automation and can pause, edit, or rerun workflows as needed, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances trust, transparency, and explainability. It also enables seamless connections to leading enterprise data, AI, and cloud systems while enforcing security and compliance standards. This makes the platform adaptable to various deployment needs, designed to fit seamlessly into existing enterprise environments, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

At the heart of causaLens’ approach is a profound commitment to trust, underscored by the belief that “automation without trust is irrelevant.” To ensure reliability, causaLens integrates causal reasoning and business-specific grounding into its AI agents, complemented by reinforcement learning and human oversight.

Additionally, the agents adapt dynamically, retaining knowledge of organizational practices, compliance standards, and domain-specific methods, thereby continuously enhancing their relevance and effectiveness.

In addition to these pre-built agents, the platform allows organizations to create custom agents tailored to specific business domains, knowledge sets, compliance policies, and organizational needs. The causaLens platform offers a streamlined process to develop these agents within a step-by-step agentic workflow:

1. Define Your Agent’s Objective

2. Create Your Agent’s Persona

3. Equip with Tools and Knowledge

4. Train and Evaluate

5. Publish to Users

The causaLens AI Agent platform represents a paradigm shift that will significantly reshape the role of human data scientists, enabling them to now concentrate on more strategic, complex problem-solving initiatives that leverage human creativity and domain expertise. Moreover, by democratizing advanced AI capabilities with an intuitive, conversational-like experience, everyone across an organization — from data analysts to strategic business leaders — can be empowered with new data science superpowers to make better, more informed decisions.

Real-world Impact

causaLens has demonstrated significant success across various industries by deploying AI Data Scientists, leading to substantial operational improvements and financial gains for their clients.

For instance, a leading oil services company realized an annual value of $30 million by reducing downtime through the implementation of a digital twin for its drilling systems. This solution allowed the company to comprehend the trade-offs between drilling speed and equipment failure rates, thereby facilitating more informed operational decisions.

A $1 billion industrial machinery manufacturer experienced a 10% reduction in order delays in the manufacturing sector. By integrating causaLens’s causal AI agent, the company identified root causes of delays, forecasted the likelihood of future delays, and received optimal recommendations for order allocation across manufacturing plants.

The financial services industry has also benefited from causaLens’s solutions. A large European bank with over €400 billion in aggregate deposits projected a return of €12 million by utilizing causaLens solutions to understand better and manage deposit risk. The platform gave the bank enhanced insights into deposit behaviors under changing macroeconomic conditions, improving risk management strategies.

Furthermore, a leading global insurer realized multi-million dollar reductions in auto claim costs by utilizing causal AI to analyze and optimize their claims processes. The insurer successfully quantified the impact of repairs performed within their network, resulting in more effective cost-reduction policies and enhanced decision-making concerning garage partnerships and customer incentives.

These examples illustrate the versatility and effectiveness of causaLens’s AI-driven solutions in addressing complex challenges across diverse industries.
